TUB30AT EVENING, FEB, 20, 1004
In Heard! of en Honest Mnn.
The New Yerk JferaUl points out te
the Rcntlcmcn who composed tlie recent
Independent Republican conference In
Brooklyn that tlielr threats and pretes
tatlenn lese all their ferce when they
virtually add that It their demands mid
threats tire disregarded they will still
vrti Mm tlpkflt. "Thnt sort of lude
pondence ameunta te nothing. It only
makes the hated STehnnlea,' 'Mikes' mid
Barneys' laugh." They huve heard
these threats before. After Carl
Bchuiz, the same orator who
declaimed se vigorously in Brooklyn
the ether day, In 1870 specifically pointed
out that Hayes was the kind of a roan
that he and hla political associates would
net support, he afterwards went upon
the stump for him at $200 or $.100 per
speech and his subsequent uppeintment
as secretary of the Interior justified the
suspicion of bargain and sale. Ne
amount of protestations from such
professional reformers can induce in
dependent men te believe in their sin
cerlty, nor scare the Stalwarts into fear
that they will be irreclalmably lest te
the party if their demands are net
acceded te ; they can always be brought
back if the price la made large enough.
The hide-bound partisans, who, while
they declare for reform, express the
opinion that "the election of any Deme
crat for president would be a national
misfortune," de net carry any mere
weight witli them- An nppeal te their
prejudices will always bring them into
line.
Very different is the view of Mr. Mac
Veagh who, while he agrees with the
Brooklyn conferencetliat thecryingneed
of the hour is administrative reform,
declares that the inau te accomplish it is
the man who is net only himself honest,
but who will be " a cause of honesty"
in ethers by whatever party name he is
called. The observer of political events
must be very blind who does net receg
nlze that is the kind of man that is being
sought for president by the class of vo
ters who will determine the issue next
fall. Se called Democratic leaders who
would ignore it or subordinate this con cen con
slderatlen of administrative reform,
personated ty the candidate, te questions
of mere economical concern, are tee
shallow te lead a great party Mr.
Mac Veagh concedes that the kind of
man needed is te be found in both
parties in abundance ; for obvious rea
son it will be e.tsler te tlnd and nominate
such an one in the Democratic than in
the Republican party. The practical
politicians, who generally control the
party in power, de net want him ; he
would disturb them. Even if the Demo
crats are net Inherently mere honest
than their opposition, it is their better
policy te be. Tliere is no reason why
they feheuld net accommodate Mr. Mac
Veagh and these who believe with him
In turning the rascals out.
Personalities Mude te Order
It seems that the spicy personalities el
congressional debates are often get up te
order. Mr. Wise, of Virginia, excerl
ates Mr. Cox, of New Yeik, and Mr.
Cox rises te explain that Mr. Wise had
previously asked and obtained bh ht
mission te de se. He had cheerfully
assented, but lie thou ;ht that his friend
bad rather overdone the business in de
clarlng that Mr. Cox was as a pillar of
brass by day and u pillar of gas by
night. Just why Mr. Cox thought that
this was outside thepaleef his permission
te Mr. Wise he does net make clear.
Probably the true reason was that Mr.
Wise came daneereusly near the truth
in describing MY. Cox ns a bag of wind.
We greatly fear that Mr. Cox is net
much mere. Old age is smlly demeraliz
ing him. Au old member, such ns he is,
should have mere sense trul discretion,
than te consent that a young member
shall make sport of him for the fun
of the thing, mid te give Imn a
chance te get up u laugh in return.
Mr. Cox's failing has nhvayn been
his disposition towards buffoenety,
which lie grutliled because he thought he
was skilled in the art. He dellghts te
be talked about, and In thet-piritef the
youth, who fired the Eph. smii dome,
would rather be censpicuuu In felly
than net be conspicuous at all lie was
delighted te consent that Mr. Wise
should speak of him "in a j ctilariud
humorous vein," and dehghttd te seize
the opportunity te reply In his familiar
style and raise his accustomed laugh.
Mr. Cox can always excite laughter, but
it would be better for his leputatlen If
he would oftener command respect.
Uantam debates, spiced with pcrseuali
ties and seasoned with repartee, get up
te order, are net prelltable te the coun
try or creditable te its Cenirrtss.
Mr, Hewitt Exonerated.
Mr. Hewitt lias a letter from the lirit
Itb tnlnltter, which acquits him of Mr.
Belmont's charge that he apologized te
the minister nfeiesaid for his introduc
tion of the O'Donnell resolution. The
point of the story against Mr. Hewitt
was that a day or two after he had offer
ed the resolution he had visited Die
British minister and had intimated te
him that the resolution was a buncombe
one. Mr. Hewitt has said that ids
visit ws ti casual and unpremeditated
one, in company with a frieud who de
sired te meet the minister, and that,
whlle the O'Donnell resolution was
spoken of, he had in no way depreciated
it, but had explained that he had drawn
the resolution te modify ethers that weiu
proposed and te represent his Idea of
what should be said. Mr. Hewitt being
a mau of geed sense mid jroed repute, it
is net reasonable te suppose that he said
anything te the minister with Intent te
belittle the resolution he had offered or
te detract from Its force -, and the letter
of Mr. West declares that he did net
consider Mr. Hewitt's remarks te him us
of that diameter. Mr. Belmont seems te
Iinve made a wrong deduction from what
Mr. West had previously said te him of
Mr. Hewitt's visit.

Levi Seuseulg heeins te be the only in in
te whom everybody leeks te make some
sort of a combination ; he has the skill,
thouxperteiice ami u decided politic it fol

sonptlens te the "(hmI," the capital te
"put up "for a "short ticket," and the
means te put it through. All reads iu local
politic lead te the "emtie ou tlie alley."
It seems, however, that he has as yet
committed himself te nothing but te Tem

tion toward Atlee for judge, te gratify a
grudge agaiust Judgu Patterson for as -seuting
te the license of the "SnapKir

protheuotary ''If things () me made sat

for Cengiess, at the head of his ticket if
he lie ids a Modoe engine te pull it through.
The things that all the politicians of
experience seem te agree te are that it will
boa big campaigu with "pleuty of money,"
that the 1 irgest pole will kueck the per
siunueii, that the best arranged cembiua.

perfect combinations mid that iu their ar

Dr. P. J. Heebuck has been quietly
feeling his way toward the congressional
nomination by diMiibuting a circular con
taining the following interrogators aud
soliciting confidential answers te them .
" Is the predominant sentiment in your
district in favor of the reno.niuatienof the
Hen. A. Herr Smith for Congress .'"
" hheuld the ceutent be confined te Mr.
Smith and myself, hew would the vete of
jour district probably be divided '"'
" If your deposition and time will
allow of any advice or suggest ieu, whether
faterablc or otherwise, it will be uccept.i
bio, nud considered piivate, if you se de
tire."
As the doctor h is uet yet announced
himself as a candid Ue for Congress it is
beheved that a considerable number of his
circulais fell upon stency places. There
is no lack of u de.siru among the practical
politicians te beat Smith, aud Cel. Sam'l

That the Lanoaster ceuuty Republicans
in seme of their strongest district are uet
hopelessly lest te a sense of the fitness of
the things is manifest in the fact that iu
several of the heaviest Republican dis
tricts of the county leading Democrats
were elected te local offices nt thn recent
township elections. Iu .Maner, for in
stance, that sterling Democrat, Jehn S.
Maun, was chosen for auditor; in
West Hemplleld, Jehn S . Iloevor,
ene of its worthiest citizeus, albeit
a most aetlvn Democrat, was elected
school director ; and iu Fulton town
ship, Sauders McSparrcu, representa
tive of an unyielding Domeoratio family,
was re elected school director, doipite the
most bitter opposition.
Of tbe contest for the school beard in
Fulton, our Drumere correspondent writes
at length explaining the Issue involved
and the causes which led te the overthrew
of thn opposition teMcHparrau :
"Thu spring elections In Fultcn town
ship have become important ovetits In
local history. Fulton is oue of the coun
ty's most piolifle nurseries of Republican
ism, aud the dislike of Democrats there,
au Domeorats, Is an inhorlted constitu
tional specialty. Next te thn study of
mental arithmetic and rending the Oxford
J'rtn, the transmission of this dislike Is
considered by the Fulteultes an Import Impert
nut branch of papular ccluoatlen.
" Stronger thau this dislike, hewever, Is
their private funds between individuals or
families. What one clan advecates the
opposition nlways oppose, be the question
political, soeial or religious. Soiuetlmos
ene side U right, again the ether aud again
neither. Sometime age u new soheol

the old heuse thought lit) ought

claiming In justtileathu of thosmalluesB of
the price that the laud of the school heuse
had bceu given with the understanding
that It should rovert te his farm when no
longer used for soheol purposes, Uut thn
deed told a different story, and the prep
erty was sold nt public sale, as
all school propertles should be sold,
te the highest bidder. Aud the high
est bidder did net prove te be the
ewner of tlie contiguous preperty,
and said ewner was net highly gratllletl at
the transaction, lu oeusequeuoo, and had
au Injunction Issued against the soheol

Oue of the largest masquerade balls ever
held iu this city was that of the Lancaster
Mvmuorcher, which was given in the h ill
el the association last night. At least
l,r00 ptople were present, the majority of
the members having their families with
them. The cestuiuet, which were hired
from a Philadelphia firm, were very hand
soma nud all kinds of characters were rep
resented. The music was fitrnbdicd by the City
Cernut baud mid Taylors orchestra, and
Professer Jl.it. managed Obery thing iu
his usual geed btyle. Thu festivities began
about 10 o'clock with au Amu, iui.ni
march and drill by two compauies of
young ladies ou the stage. .Miss Jlmy
Deorr was queen and Misses Carrie Kicker
and Laura Iske captains of tbe companies.
The young ladies were dressed iu baud
some suits and carried Bwerds mid
shields, and the drilling was very fine, Fel
lowing this came "The Full JIoeu Union"
which was composed of sixteen yeuug men
dressed iu dude suits with black masks,
which outfit was very comical. They wero
the regalia of the order and gave Ned
Harrigan's great sung in capital style.
Their noting was se elever that they were
called back a number of times, winding
up their performance) with the great

up until n la te hour. Everything passed

enjoying themselves, which they certainly
did. The society has geud reason te feel
